Hello World!

So, with little to talk about I thought I would get kinda deep this post, as others have been doing lately. Give y'all a little insight into my life, get to know me a little better. :) And the best way I can think of doing that is to give a really long answer to this question:

Why are you doing this?

My whole life I had this one basic plan for myself, go to school, work hard; get into a good college, work hard; get a good job that I liked, start a family, be happy. But, to be honest... I didn't work as hard as I hoped I would, and I was not happy with the grades that I got. I couldn't get into the colleges I wanted to. But when I thought about it, I realized that I didn't even know what college I ever wanted to go to, because I had (and still have) no Idea what I want to do with my life! Not knowing where I wanted to go or what I wanted to do had me procrastinating on applying to colleges, and eventually I realized that I just wasn't ready to make that decision yet. Luckily, I have the most wonderful parents, who understood what I was saying, and let me make the decision I needed to. I decided I was going to take a year off. That lifted such a great weight of my shoulders I can't tell you how wonderful I felt, but I still didn't know what I was going to do during my year off. I was talking to my friend about what I was going to do (probably get a job around town and work for a while) when she mentioned that I should go work at Disney. I didn't really think much of it, and I thought she was joking, but she sent me the link to the E-presentation. And it opened up a whole new world to me. Obviously, I applied immediately because I wanted to do this so badly! But, while waiting for an email about the web interview, I mentioned to some people that I had applied to the program, and most of them seemed wary about it... this got me thinking that maybe I was to rash in my decision and it really wasn't right for me. This got me thinking... I've been going to school with basically the same people since kindergarten, I've been confined in this social bubble, and I hate it! I want to get out, get TOTALLY out, I want to take the boundries of my comfort zone and blow them up. I want to experience something totally foreign and terrifying. Because that's what I need right now.

Knowing that I'm going to do this makes it seem like all the mistakes that I made, ultimately brought me here, and I think that it was all worth it. Working in the entertainment field might be what I want to do with the rest of my life, and this is the perfect way to get started!

EPIC QUOTE TIME:
Mater: You know, I once knew this girl Doreen. Good-looking girl. Looked just like a Jaguar, only she was a truck! You know, I used to crash into her just so I could speak to her.
Lightning McQueen: What... are you talking about?
Mater: I dunno.
